0:00.0 | Hello, this is William Lane Craig. Here at Reasonable Faith, we are in the midst of our fall |
0:14.7 | matching grant campaign. From now until the end of the year, every gift you give to reasonable faith will be doubled |
0:23.4 | by a group of generous donors, up to $250,000. So this is a tremendous way to double the impact of your |
0:34.2 | giving to the Lord's work. Remember, this offer goes until December 31st at midnight, |
0:40.7 | so I hope that you'll consider this and be a part of our fall matching grant campaign. |
